I do get to, actually, through a little process called shame.

You want to be able to control everyone and force them to act the way you want them to act.

We already do this. You cannot murder, you can’t piss in public, a lot of states don’t allow open carry, you can be shooed off the premises for smoking in the wrong areas. And, you can’t pull your dick out. “Controlling” the way people act is actually absurdly common.

I’m asking you to keep your cock in your pants.

It is so fucked that in modern life I have to waste my time with conservatives trying to endlessly relitigate exactly what about being a pedophile is bad, and with tech fetishists exactly why being an asshole in public is wrong.

Spaceballs, if you’re standing somewhere over the grand canyon with your phone out, obviously filming a family of three that does not want to be filmed, what the fuck are you doing? Do you find joy in being an unlikeable loser? Do you often think you just aren’t lonely enough?

I don’t know what it is you want me to say to you. In my ideal world, Facebook wouldn’t be allowed to make this product in the first place.

This is like asking how we decide that your cock isn’t visible through your pants. Learn to be modest, I don’t know.

I kept thinking during the entire microsoft show how weird it was just how little charisma and tonal consistency there was. It was like watching robot people talk at me about whatever oddities were currently in their cupboard.

Anyway, this article was a really fun read after all that.

should people be able to record it without asking the stabber for permission or not?

You can do this with a clearly visible camera.

You know, I think Goat and his ilk should be allowed to have their secret camera glasses, but only if they’re required by law to look like this.

Not to mention, the meaning to Celeste in question is nearly identical to both Getting Over It and Dark Souls. All of these games are about, mechanically, I’m not even talking about their narratives, overcoming something difficult. But, only one of them is the author unable to understand.

Since I’m here anyway, it really bothered me that the author claims that Space Invaders has meaning because it has highscores, but never explains what that meaning is. I know what it is, of course, but if I’m being real, I don’t think the author does. Look at this quote about Space Invaders:

Even if you’re just playing against yourself, there is a tension of getting farther, doing better, honing your craft and seeing it reflected in concrete terms.

How does this not apply to almost all video games? How does this not apply to Celeste?

This article is not about anything, it is a diary where the author is trying to figure out in real time when it was they lost the spark.
